Basic Training Mailroom Closures For Memorial Day Weekend

As we head into the Memorial Day weekend, we want to provide important information about mailroom closures at your loved one’s basic training location. This will help you ensure that your letters reach your recruit before the long weekend. Please note that the dates below are subject to change depending on the needs of the Command. Additionally, our print room will be closed on Monday, May 26th, 2025, in observance of Memorial Day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our Customer Happiness team.
